Security score

34/100

Risk levelHigh

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Exient is a well-established game development company specializing in family-friendly entertainment with over 25 years of experience. The company partners with global brands and delivers games across multiple platforms, targeting players of all ages. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and good content quality. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using modern libraries like jQuery and Swiper.js, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible but could improve in security and privacy practices.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Exient holds a strong market position as a trusted developer in the family-friendly gaming sector. Their business model focuses on game development and porting services, leveraging partnerships with well-known brands. The company targets a broad audience including families and casual gamers. The presence of open job positions and active social media channels indicates growth and engagement. The website content and partner logos reinforce their industry credibility. However, the lack of detailed compliance and security disclosures suggests room for maturity in governance and risk management.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, which is positive. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which are critical for mitigating common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. The contact form collects user data but does not show visible anti-bot protections. These gaps represent moderate security risks that could impact user trust and regulatory compliance. Enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent, and publishing incident response contacts would strengthen the security posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Integrate anti-bot measures such as CAPTCHA on contact forms to prevent abuse.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with common JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization could be improved with more meta tags and structured data. No advanced hosting or infrastructure details are evident from the HTML. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced accessibility.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
